Hi all,

today we have released a new version (2.8.1.1bzr69) of the QtCreator 
Ubuntu Plugin in the SDK PPA with the following goodies:

1. Automatic Click package validation

The core functionality is provided by the click-reviewers-tools 
(suggested by the ubuntu-sdk)

When new Click package is created the reviewer tool is executed and the 
result is shown in the Packaging tab

It is possible to run the Click reviewer tool on any package by clicking 
on the "Validate Click package" button in the Packaging tab.

2. cross-building of cmake projects

The function comes from click-dev an schroot packages

First go to the Tools -> Option -> Ubuntu tab. New builder chroot canb 
be created by clicking on the "Create Click target" button. It might 
take long time to download the ~1G system.

The cmake projects can be cross-builded by selecting the "Build in 
chroot" in the menu after right clicking on the project. The amhf 
binaries are created under the cmake build directory in the 
ubuntu-sdk-[ubuntu release]-[architecture] directory.


The automatic click packaging of the cmake projects and the proper 
visualization of the package validation are the next on the line. These 
features are on their way to land in the archives.


Feedbacks and bug reports are welcome :)

cheers,

Zoltan
